My Wall Mounted Magnetic Knife Block from Harbour Freight
So what's in my magnetic knife block. The knives you see in my knife block are my go-to knife in my day-to-day work in my restaurant. I remove all the other knives that we don't use. We still have a other knives that are not in my knife block, like pairing knives with a couple of 8-inch chef knives and a santoku knife that other workers use.
From left to right :
- Tramontina Bolo Machete: This 14" Bolo style Tramontina machete with 1070 carbon steel and a hardwood handle is made in Brazil. It is a really simple machete and to be honest, it looked rough and unfinished when I saw it the first time. I use sandpaper to smoothen the wood handle and everything looks great, it is sharp and really fun to use to chop some leg quarters and pork meat. I don't use it every day because it's to big and too long to use as a chef's knife.
- 8-inch Vintage EKCO Eterna CHef's Knife with wooden handle, Made in Japan: I don't have a lot of info about this knife, except that is made from High Carbon Steel, keeps its edge nice and it's nice to use, and is well balanced.
- 5-inch Vintage Chef's Knife with wooden handle, Made in Taiwan : I also don't have a lot of information about this knife, but like my 8-inch it is made of High Carbon Steel, also keep the edge and easy to sharpen, a really nice backup to the Chef's Knife.
